Quetzalcoatl Eats Plums

i meant to leave the house this morning
 and begin making my way toward where you are
 i meant to leave the house this morning
 i made it halfway across the front yard
 but the plum tree hung heavy in my head
 and the plum tree hung heavy in my heart
 and the plum tree hung heavy over me
 so i tore off to the phone
 to call you and tell you something, but i couldn't remember what
 because through the clean, clean windows
 saw the plum tree's leaves, as red as fresh blood
 and the plum tree hung heavy in my head
 and the plum tree hung heavy in my heart
 and the plum tree hung heavy over me
